This animation is worse than useless. I've taught a lot of students. This is not learning, it's stamp collecting. You're just memorizing a nonsensical recipe. What are the constrai…

Ironic that "Reinvent science" would publish such a trash article. Did they even read the original paper? This is not at all what it says. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.13169 The "poi…

As someone who has worked in two industries that are at the maximal end of data sensitivity and privacy this comes across as a tinfoil hat issue not a real business requirement. In…

Every single time any story has the words "Google developers" in it, they're behaving like arrogant, disconnected, anti-consumer jerks. From constant GCP breakage, to not acknowled…

> Perhaps. If we need more, we can make more though, and at a faster rate than Iran can. We can't. We built a system that creates a very small number of very expensive munitions an…

This kind of data-free opining reminds me of the Mythical Man-Month. Yeah, in theory adding more people to a project will speed it up. And all people are replaceable so I can hire …

Go with your report back to your doctor. A family member has cancer and we treat chatgpt as part of the team (our doctor's words). I ingest everything into it, work with it to make…

I'm amazed that PG can't see his own arguments clearly lead to massive social harms. Facebook once existed as "How is a company going to make money from undergrads stalking one ano…

This is a shamefully bad paper hyped up to make Science relevant but with a result that has no relationship at all to what's even in the title, never mind abstract. The sad part is…

Or it would have moved overseas forever. I can already on the ground see the effect of the Trump policies. So many tech jobs that would have been in the US are being lost. And comp…

I've graduated many PhD students at a top tier university. That advisor was correct. What they were doing is teaching their PhD student. You must learn to write good reviews. That …
